History

Southbound view from Platform 1, July 2011

The railway line past the site of Glenbervie originally opened in 1872, as part of the North East line to School House Lane. The station itself opened on 11 September 1922, a year after the line was electrified.[6] It was named in honour of local settler Thomas Napier, who was originally from Scotland.[7][8] Glenbervie, in Aberdeenshire, was the ancestral birthplace of Napier's father, grandfather, and great grandfather.[7][8]

The station was initially provided with small timber station buildings. In 1976, they were replaced by the current buildings.[9][10] A timber footbridge originally linked the two platforms.
